Landlord of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 427
The people on the grassland, waiting for the chaos in the Central Plains, wanted to take the opportunity to rob, and even took the opportunity to establish a series of separatist regimes on the border between the Tang Dynasty and the Turks, so that they would open the door when they went south.

After returning from Yingzhou, Xu Qing didn't spend time with his family. When he came back from the tour this time, he paid the errand, and Xu Qing stayed in Shantianzhuang.Three or five days later, a family member outside the study came to report: "Sign up to the lord, the eldest grandson is visiting."

Then Xu Qing opened the door, and received the next post, which read Sun Chong, the evening attendant.Xu Qing laughed, this eldest grandson Wuji still couldn't hold back his face, he just asked his son to apologize.It's modest to be born late in the year. If Xu Qing goes to give it to the eldest grandson Wuji, he only needs to write the waiter in the previous year.

Xu Qing sat down in the study and asked his servants to invite Changsun Chong in.After a while, a young man came in, but seeing his appearance, he should be five or six years older than Xu Qing, but he didn't dare to take his name in front of Xu Qing, so when he saw Xu Qing, he bowed and said: "Sun Chong, who grew up late, was accepted by his father." It is my order to visit Xuanpinghou."

"Oh? So it's Young Master Changsun..." Xu Qing asked, "I don't know why Master Changsun didn't come in person, but I've wanted to see him for a long time."

The eldest grandson returned: "Master Xu, my father occasionally felt cold and was not feeling well, so he sent Wansheng to visit Master Xu."

Xu Qing asked with concern: "Hey, why did the eldest grandson catch the cold, are you okay?"

"No, it's okay, please don't worry, my lord..."

Changsun Chong knelt on the ground to answer, Xu Qing nodded and let him get up.After he sat down, Xu Qing asked: "I don't know what the eldest grandson is doing in my house?"

After learning all about it, Chang Sun Chong took out a stack of things from his sleeve and said: "Master Xu, ahem, my father knows that this Shantianzhuang is Master Xu's place, but as Master Xu, living in this place is really wronged. Coincidentally, some of the land in the family is not wanted, and they are sold in pieces, and my father can't save that face. My father has seen all the people in Chang'an, and only Mr. Xu's family can take it."

Sell ​​land?How fresh, the aristocratic family tried their best to enclose the land in their own hands, how could there be any reason to sell it?However, this truth is not said by people, Xu Qing picked up the land deeds and looked at them without saying a word.After reading a few pictures, Xu Qing smiled inwardly. These land deeds are all planned around Shantianzhuang.However, the land around Shantianzhuang is the land of Samurai and Tang Jian. Changsun Wuji either bought these lands first and then sold them to Xu Qing at a low price, or it was Samurai and Tang Jian who gave these lands to his eldest grandson. Don't hesitate to send favors.

Thinking of this, Xu Qing said in his heart that it is no wonder, no wonder that Shantianzhuang has been slaughtered in a bloody manner, and the two guards of Shangshu next to him are still not moving.

Among the people, the imperial court actually prohibited the sale and purchase of land, but when it came to the upper class, the land became a random exchange.Sometimes, it is not necessary to go to the official office to get the seal, but to exchange the land deed directly.

Xu Qing looked at the title deed, and didn't say what he was thinking, but said: "Master Changsun, these are all good lands. I don't know if Master Changsun wants to sell them? May I ask how much the price is?"

Changsun Chong laughed and said, "What did Xuan Pinghou say? The reason why my father didn't want to sell it at retail is because he was afraid of competing with those snobs. If Master Xu can take it all at once, the amount of money is nothing."

Xu Qing estimated that those land deeds contained at least 2000 mu of land.The land in the suburbs of Beijing is cheap for four taels per mu. Generally speaking, seven taels is about the same.But Xu Qing doesn't know why he wanted the [-] mu of land. Now Xu Qing's family's property has reached the point where Xu Qing can't count it. The two thousand mu of land is indeed worth a lot of money, but it is useful to the Xu family. But it is not big.

This gift of apology was given without sincerity, and Xu Qing beat the drums.

Seeing Xu Qing caressing the tea bowl, Chang Sun Chong was a little hesitant, so he explained: "Xuan Pinghou must have helpers around him, and those who have a fixed property must have perseverance. The Marquis can use this land to distribute to everyone around him, just like the ancients. Like a feudal lord, he is guarded by a doctor."

After hearing this, Xu Qing really became interested, and Wang Shan and others around him all followed him as family generals.Usually, Huang Shimei would give them regular money. Although they had no worries about food and clothing and were more prosperous than others, but guarding such things could only be done by young people.Seeing that his wife Xiaoru is about to give birth, Wang Shan has already married and started a business, but he has not yet had a family business with Xu Qing. This is Xu Qing's team as the boss.

With [-] mu of land, even [-] mu per person can be distributed to ten people, which is enough for Xu Qing's current small family.That being the case, this [-]-acre land is still somewhat useful.Xu Qing nodded and said: "Young Master Changsun is really a thousand-mile horse. Now that you say that, I understand. Please ask Young Master Changsun to make a price, how about it?"

Chang Sun Chong originally brought the land to apologize, but it seemed that his family had lowered his position too much, so he sold it at a low price.Making money is not Chang Sun Chong's goal. He thought for a while and said, "Mr. Xuan Ping's statement, Wan Sheng has heard about it a long time ago. I saw it today, and it really deserves its reputation. Wan Sheng and Xuan Ping Hou hit it off. With Xuan Ping Hou's knowledge and ability, Wan Sheng As a disciple's salary, the two thousand acres of land should be given to Marquis Xuan Ping as a teacher's gift. However, Marquis Xuan Ping is extremely incorruptible, and Wan Sheng can't bear to insult Marquis Xuan Ping's reputation, so let's take a tael of silver, right? "

Xu Qing scolded him in his heart for being a glib guy, but when he saw the fat in front of him, he must have slipped a little bit, Xu Qing smiled and said: "My eldest grandson loves you so much, I'd rather be respectful than obedient. Young master, please wait a little longer." After a while, 2000 taels of silver will be delivered immediately."

Changsun Chong stopped Xu Qing and said, "Xuan Pinghou, wait a minute. What Wan Sheng means is that you can buy this two thousand mu of land with only one or two taels of silver, not one or two mu per mu."

Xu Qing said solemnly: "Nephew, how can I let you suffer so much? Well, a [-]% discount is enough, I don't lack that little money." Xu Qing said so righteously, so undeniable.

Eldest Sun Chong was also speechless, so he could only wave his hands, accepting this young uncle's "refreshing".

After a while, Xu Qing's servants came carrying two large camphorwood boxes, 2000 taels, more than 200 catties.As soon as he opened the box, he saw the silver light inside, which surprised Changsun Chong. He opened his mouth and said, "Xu, Mr. Xu, you have 2000 taels of cash in your house!"

However, he quickly changed his words and apologized: "Xuan Ping Hou, I was born reckless late, I was really surprised to see that Xuan Ping Hou was able to take out two thousand silver now."

"What's so surprising about this? The eldest grandson's family is also a big family. Could it be that the money is not willing to be seen by my nephew?"

Xu Qing would not doubt the financial resources of the eldest grandson's family, but the poor raised sons and rich raised daughters, this eldest grandson Wuji has good personal morality, and he runs the family very strictly. Presumably he did not let the eldest grandson Chong get in touch with these copper stinks since he was a child, so he has never seen it.
